Backpack Fundraiser for CASA

It's time to start building backpacks to help benefit the children in the Court Appointed Special Assistant (CASA) program. These children are in the foster care system and are in need of school supplies. Our goal is to collect 50 (this may be updated) pre-filled backpacks. Please help us in reaching our goal!

Please fill a new or very gently used backpack with the following school supplies:

Once you have a filled backpack (or supplies), please bring it to one of our many convenient drop-off points before August 15th or fill multiple backpacks and contact Melanie at Prisms Promotions 845-928-6914 for a pick-up!

Would you like to provide a drop-off point? Call Criss at 866-993-8932 x 303 and leave a message. We're currently seeking drop-off points especially in Chester, Sugar Loaf, New Windsor, Cornwall & Highland Falls.

CASA assists children through the family court system, and serves as a volunteer witness and child advocate service working closely with the court system. Children in the program are usually placed in foster homes and foster families may not have the resources to supply these children adequately. National Women's In Network Orange County Day Chapter is a proud supporter of Dispute Resolution Center's CASA program.
